Sarah Korenblit spent years working in palliative care. Through Sarah’s initial work as a social worker for people dependent on dialysis, she gained an understanding of the challenges faced by those with long-term and terminal illnesses. Eventually she used those skills to assist families with children who were mentally compromised or terminally ill.

After the birth of her own special-needs child, Sarah was no longer able to work with this population. Ultimately, she opened her own therapy company, which allowed her to care for all her children, while helping other families in so many ways.

One of Sarah’s overriding messages to those training in the medical field is to do what you can to remain compassionate but at the same time to do what it takes not to burn out.
